I am questioning whether any matter ever enters a black hole.
​
Wouldn't the presence of Hawking radiation confirm that something is, in fact, passing through the event horizon? Or is it just that it gets so close that it can never go back?
​
But then, if it's at that point, isn't it through the event horizon? If the event horizon is the "point of no return", so to speak.

No offence guys - but you really need to brush up on GR.
